Screen Guild Players, otherwise known as The Screen Guild Theater, was one of the most popular drama anthology series during the Golden Age of Radio. From its first broadcast in 1939, up to its farewell in 1952, the show was able to showcase radio adaptations of some of the most popular Hollywood films back then. A lot of popular Hollywood names became part of the show, including Bette Davis, Bing Crosby, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and many more. The actors’ fees for their performance were all donated to the Motion Picture Relief Fund, an organization that provides aid to retired actors.

Screen Guild Players was heard on different radio networks, beginning from CBS from 1939 to 1948, on NBC from 1948 to 1950, on ABC from 1950 to 1951, and finally, back to CBS until its last episode on June 29, 1952.

This series is referred to as The Screen Guild Theater, but had many three titles depending on sponsor of the program when it was broadcast. It was broadcast as Gulf Screen Guild Theater while sponsored by Gulf Oil Company on CBS from January 8, 1939 to April 19, 1942. From October 19, 1942 to July 7, 1947, the program continued to be broadcast on CBS, and the title was The Lady Esther Screen Guild Theater. From October 6, 1947 to June 28, 1948, the program continued on CBS as The Camel Screen Guild Theater, then NBC picked the show up and it was broadcast from October 7, 1948 to June 29, 1950. Beginning September 7, 1950 to May 31, 1951 ABC broadcast The Camel Screen Guild Theater. After the end of the series, the program had a subtitle of Screen Guild Players, and was broadcast on such series as Stars In The Air, and Hollywood Soundstage. From April 6, to June 29, 1952, CBS revived the series on Sundays as a sustained network program. As Lux Radio did, Screen Guild presented current movies, with the leads played by the stars of the movie. Over the years, very little attention has been paid to this series except by major collectors, who have known for many years, that this is a great entertaining series.
